VOICED : Pasajeros enlatados: un dia en el transpo

Rodrigo commutes daily from central Rio de Janeiro to his home 20 kilometers away, facing the challenges of crowded public transport. His journey involves multiple modes of transport, including metro, train, and bus, often feeling like a sardine in a can. The central station is a hub for suburban trains and has been a site of recent protests. Rodrigo's discomfort is exacerbated by old trains lacking air conditioning in the hot Rio summer.
